Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · London · AI Overview · September 21–27, 2026
The panel is distributed rather than concentrated

The 9 sources behind Black Brick range from 11.85% down to 3.79%, a gradual slope rather than a sharp drop-off. Eight of the governed top-10 panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; the remaining two — eccord.com and hoa.org.uk — opened AI answers in fewer runs. The surface mixes focused sources and niche domains with one general-purpose platform, youtube.com, which holds a mid-panel position.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · London · AI Overview · September 21–27, 2026
Black Brick holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail, yet its lead over Rightmove is just 1.18 percentage points — the slimmest gap at the top of the panel. Meanwhile the bottom half of the panel is populated entirely by focused sources and niche domains, with no second platform visible. The surface AI reaches for first on Luxury Real Estate Advisory London queries is shaped by specialist domains, not by aggregator or platform concentration.
Market implication
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · London · AI Overview · September 21–27, 2026
The distributed shape of this AI opening-control panel signals that no single source has locked down the opening slot on this observed surface across the 7-run window. For any actor monitoring AI visibility on the Luxury Real Estate Advisory London market, the observation reframes the opening-control rail as a contested space where cumulative volume is spread across the governed top-10 panel rather than concentrated at the top.

- How were the period values calculated?
